Everyone knows berries are great sources of vitamins, but they rank low on this chart because they're pricey. This chart emphasizes both low cost and nutrition.

Here's how Langston and Hess came up with these rankings: They tracked down the price-per-cup of various fruits, as revealed in a new report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They also got the nutritional scores for various fruits, as determined by the ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index) rating method used by the Whole Foods chain and others. They then divided each fruit's ANDI score by its price per cup.
